Once more show me the dream.
shizen na sono ikikata de iikarasa
Keep on living just the way you are.
You passed.
I'm surprised. To think you'd master Nen in only half a year.
You remember me?
Well, yes. I don't get many visitors, after all.
So, what kind of employer are you looking for?
I'd like to work for someone who's directly involved with the auction
that will be taking place in Yorknew City.
It doesn't matter what the job entails.
A high profile client like that usually has extremely high standards.
I don't think they'd hire someone who has no experience as a Hunter.
There's three people who match your criteria....
...and are willing to interview anyone without experience.
All three of them are looking to hire bodyguards.
This is Kurapika. I was sent here by the Employment Agency.
We've been expecting you. Please come this way.
Please wait inside this room here.
Hi there.
Don't you wanna... kiss me?
Don't you know?
That's the greeting that's all the rage in the city now.
We call it: Instant Lovers.
I don't come from the city unfortunately...
I'll decline.
It's very nice to see you again.
As I thought... So you were a Hunter too.
I'm a little disappointed. I liked the way they were before.
Mind if I play another song?
No.
Your heartbeat still has its beautiful melody.
Everyone has their own unique heartbeat.
And it never lies.
They tell a lot more about a person than their words.
It won't be much longer now. Thank you for your patience.
Oh man, only a first timer would show up at the last minute.
From what I can tell, this is your first year as a Hunter.
Nice to make your acquaintance, rookie.
Everyone has to start somewhere, so it might as well be here.
You will all learn what it really means to be a professional...
...by diving into the very depths of it.
Hey, you there.
You are a little loud... Shut your trap.
I agree.
If you are a pro, you should know when to keep your mouth shut.
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
If I could have your attention, I'll explain the details of this contract.
You sure?
Yeah.
But you've never even heard her voice before.
I know, but that's okay.
It's like I said before...
Aunt Mito's the only mom I know.
C'mon, let's have something to eat and finish hooking up the internet.
Gon! The tape started rewinding on its own!
But there's no timer or anything on this stereo!
Use Gyo!
The stereo has an aura?!
Nen! That's what's rewinding the tape!
Could it be that he's doing it right now?!
That's not it! He must've transmitted Nen into the tape ten years ago!
Something like a Nen timer!
But why?
Who knows?
Now it's starting to record! Oh, I get it!
He's trying to erase his own voice!
Nothing's happening, it won't stop!
Pulling out the cord is not stopping it either!
Sorry, Gon!
I gotta smash it!
It's no use; it's protected by Nen... There's only one thing left to do.
Use Nen against Nen!
Now it's starting to record! Oh, I get it!
He's trying to erase his own voice!
It's no use; it's protected by Nen...
He even got our copy of the tape...
Why did he need to go this far?
My guess is that he was trying to cover his tracks.
You can learn a lot about a person by analyzing their voice.
Is that so?
You can figure out their gender, age, height, weight,
facial features, their physical fitness...
You can even come up with a psychological profile.
Not only that, but background noise can give clues as to where the recording was done.
But I'm sure what he was really afraid of was something else.
Nen abilities.
Nen abilities?
It wouldn't be crazy to assume that
there are Nen users who have far superior analytical ability than machines.
For example, a power that tells you everything about the person just by hearing their voice.
I see.
He's tough.
One down, two to go.
We can deal with the ring later. But the memory card is an issue.
It's a lot smaller than the standard model.
You think there's a special machine just for this?
Is there one?
You don't know about the JoyStation?
The JoyStation?
This is a memory card for a game console called the JoyStation.
JoyStation...
When you access Toy Land and enter what you're looking for along with our address,
it'll give you a list of all the stores in your area with their stock data.
For example, if you wanna get something as cheaply as possible,
it will find you the stores that meet the conditions.
We want one JoyStation and a memory card for same day delivery.
Oh! They got one! How lucky!
But unless we have the actual game,
we can't play it with just the JoyStation and a memory card, right?
Besides, there's no title or anything written on it either.
Can we tell what kind of game it is?
Wow, you're pretty weird. Haven't you ever played games before?
Of course I have! Remember the Trick Tower?
That's like a fossil!
He really just doesn't get it.
Good evening, everyone. Let me get straight to the point.
It isn't important to us whether you're licensed Hunters or not.
All that really matters is if you can collect the items that we want.
I want to tell you right up front that the job we're hiring you for is not entirely legal,
but you will be well compensated for your work.
Sounds good to me. Pay me enough and I'll do anything.
Incidentally, I'm willing to hire as many of you as I can for this assignment.
The more qualified people we have, the better.
In other words, there's no need to stall or outwit each other.
Now, on determining your capabilities, I've arranged a little test.
We have a full month before the auction starts.
Before then, I'd like each of you to bring me one of the items from this list.
Any item will do.
These are the data cards.
Here you are.
One for you.
And you.
I'll read them out to you and you can decide...
First, a handgun collector.
Seeking the Misette Limited Edition Bull Snake, model 55, number 001.
The second, an antique plates collector, is seeking Rodo memorial plates
from the years 1655 and 1667.
And the third, is a collector of body parts.
They're looking for a full body hide with a rising dragon tattoo.
A DNA certified hair sample from Sara, the actress.
The right arm of a mummy from the tombs of Egypsha.
The scarlet eyes from a member of the Kurta Clan, etc., etc.
Nasty hobby, huh? So, which one do you want?
I'd like to choose... the third one.
That was fast. You've got pretty bad taste.
Okay. Then I'll contact the employer.
The interviews are being held at noon sharp, four days from now, at the Nostrade Mansion.
I got you an appointment in the name of the Employment Agency.
I understand. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.
Wait a sec...
Let me give you a piece of advice...
and this is coming from me, personally, and not as an employment agent.
For those who use the power of Nen, time isn't a factor.
There's no reason to go rushing into anything.
You will get to seize your opportunity some day...
Until then, the shortest path for you
is to build your reputation as a pro and gain trust.
I promise it will do you good to keep that in mind.
I've seen many people like you, you know.
Yeah. There's plenty of time...
So much time that we forget that we are bored.
The eyeballs of a Kurta Clan member.
Must be taken postmortem when the scarlet has settled.
A pair with head is preferred. Difficulty level: A.
What's wrong? You're not looking so good.
Are you getting queasy already?
This list is only the beginning, you know?
Everything they're asking us to get is legit to own.
Once you're officially hired,
the things you'll be asked to collect are gonna be a lot worse than this.
Like the preserved corpse of an endangered species
carrying the most deadly pathogen known to man.
This one crazy client I worked for actually wanted me to find him a newborn...
Be quiet.
Do not talk to me.
Didn't you say professionals should keep their mouths shut?
Oh yeah, that is what I said.
If you complete this assignment,
you'll be offered an official contract to handle our security and acquisitions.
I pray you do your best.
I will ingratiate myself and gain their trust first.
The man on the screen probably isn't even our actual client.
That's the distance between me and the client at the moment.
I must get as close as possible...
...until they let down their guard and share their secrets.
There are two things collectors want. One is more rare and valuable items.
The other is friends to whom they can brag about their collection.
There must be social ties between other flesh collectors.
A network of scum who make a contest of their depraved appetites.
That's the best and shortest lead to the Spiders.
I'm going to catch them. Every last one of them.
It won't open.
I forgot to mention some crucial information.
I've prepared a little event to welcome you.
In exactly six minutes from now...
You will participate in a simulation to measure your fighting skills in your current room.
It may be a simulation,
but without real world conditions it would have no merit.
And it would be insulting to you too.
So, that means the weaker of you will be shaken off here, permanently.
Unless you are qualified enough to clear this,
you can never hope to survive the task we will assign you anyway.
The minimum requirement for employment is to be tough.
Or at least tough enough to get out of this mansion alive.
That's it. Good luck to all of you.
If you'd please excuse me, I'll be taking my leave now.
I wish you all well.
Hey. What's going on with door?
Can't we just break it open with force?
Don't even try. It's shielded with Nen.
Even if we all worked on it together, we'd never succeed in six minutes.
We're like birds trapped inside a Nen cage.
There's no point in struggling.
The concrete's about a meter thick, and it's about five meters to the ground.
It would take a power shovel an hour to get through this wall.
Hey! What do you guys intend to do?
There's only four minutes left.
Are you just gonna sit there and do nothing?
Good point.
Why don't we divvy up the items to hunt, so we're not all fighting over the same thing?
Sorry, I've already decided. I'm going after the mummy's right arm.
Then I'll go for the unicorn skull.
Hey, that's something we should talk after we get out of here alive.
Yeah, what he said.
For now, we should all come up with a plan to deal with the situation.
Let me see...
I think I'll take the DNA certified hair sample from Sara.
For a rookie, you're pretty confident.
It's not that I'm confident...
I just think it's best to do nothing at the present time.
What's your reason? Explain it to me!
And you better satisfy me with a few words!
Only a fool would tell you what time a sneak attack is going to happen.
If all they wanted to do was assess our abilities, they should've just ambushed us.
Right.
And I believe the most treacherous part of this whole simulation is the six minute countdown.
It does seem like a long time to wait.
But it's not long enough to come to a consensus
and cooperate with people you've just met.
There's nothing worse than half-boiled team play.
Without trust, no teamwork will come.
Instead, we'll just be filled with anxiety and suspicion.
Immersed in suspicion,
one will self-destruct before showing their true power.
That's why, for this particular simulation, we should avoid working as a group.
It's better to prepare individually so we can all use our abilities to the fullest.
That's my reason.
But, then why go through the trouble of setting up this whole simulation?!
If they want us to act individually, that's all they need to say!
It's likely... they want to hire real professionals
who are capable of critical thinking and sound judgment under any circumstances.
You've got some good sense. For a rookie, you're not bad.
Maybe it was a little long winded though.
If there was a spy among us, he could use the situation to his advantage.
That's the short of it.
Where are you going?
I gotta pee. The bathroom isn't shielded.
I've got time, there's still two minutes to go.
Two minutes left...
Something's bothering me. What is it? What's this feeling?
It may be a simulation, but without real world conditions...
Bring it!
Hey, Kurapika, how are you?
I hope you are not being too reckless looking for the Spiders.
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Heart Tone x Kurapika x Dowsing!
I'm gonna buy a cell phone! And then we can text each other!
